Tenets Of Faith

We are praying for the President and the leaders of our nation for the wisdom of Almighty GOD in this time of continuing global terrorism. . .
In Jesus name, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

We Believe...

 

  1. The Scriptures Inspired - The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of the Holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to the conduct and doctrine. (2Timothy 3:16; 2Peter 1:21; 1Thess 2:13)

  2. The One True Godhead - The Triune Godhead is compromised of 3 separate and distinct persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

  3. Man, His Fall, and Redemption - Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." But man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Romans 5:21)

  4. The Salvation of Man - Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness, providing both salvation and divine healing for all mankind, being justified freely by his Grace through Faith.
    "The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if you confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10)

    1. The Evidence of Salvation - The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. "And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us." (1John 3:23)

    2. Faith and Works - Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine the rewards in eternity. (Acts 16:3; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; Romans 14:10-12; and 2Cor 5:10)

  5. Baptism in Water - The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord.
    In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with him to walk in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4)

  6. The Lord's Supper - "And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said "Take, eat: this is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way he took the cup, when He had supped, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." Let a man examine himself, and so eat of that bread and drink of that cup." (1Cor. 11:24-25, 28)

  7. The Promise of the Father - All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and Fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1Cor. 12:1-31)
    This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16: 15:7-9)

  8. The Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit - The full consummation of the Baptism of the believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2-6: 1:8)

  9. The Church - The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission.
    Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and the church of the first born, which is written in Heaven. (Ephesians 1:22; 2:19; Hebrews 12:33)

  11. Blessed Hope and Resurrection of the Just - Jesus is coming again together all His Saints to Heaven. The angels said to Jesus' disciples..."this same Jesus...shall come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven." His coming is imminent. When He comes, "...the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to gather with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air..." (Acts 1:11; 1Cor. 15:51-54; 1Thess. 4:16-17; and 2Thess. 2:1)

  12. The Lake of Fire - Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15)

  13. The Millennial Reign of Jesus - The Return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousands years on earth as the Scriptures promised. (Roman 11:25, 27; 2Thess 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16: 20:1-7)
